If you know how to do those things, learning how to make the ebuild that |

does it isn't that much more to do. Then, instead of just filing the |

out. Linux works best when the users take part in it! |

P.S. A good place to start in writing an e-build for a new version of a |

package is to use the ebuild for the old version ;) |
